Today, I was roasting marshmallows around a campfire when mine burst into flames. I instinctively shook the stick to get it to go out. The flaming marshmallow then catapulted straight into my eye, burning my whole eyelid. FML

YDI. Marshmallows are delicious after they catch fire and you should feel bad for not already knowing this, but the only way to put out the fire is to simply blow on it. It should be fairly obvious from the very start what would happen if you shook it.

If you look at the way you constructed your sentence, you didn't. For one there's no question mark and secondly you just said you hoped their 'alright'... Then you didn't finish your sentence so if we were to go along with grammar rules, we have no idea what you're saying. Just saying. :)

Only one thing that brings your argument down, 56. You used the wrong form of their. You meant *they're alright. Since everyone else is being a grammar nazi, I figured I should join the fun when I was presented with a ripe opportunity :P

And to answer your lack of a questions because ? Is so hard to type... No they're probably not okay he must have had a fire flashback. ( similar to the hound in game of throne! Anyone?) Then he flailed the stick wildly in the air and launching a gooey flaming marshmallow into his eyelid. You'd burn yourself trying to remove the marshmallow! Goo every where, and he was probably with friend so yeah how embarrassing is that... I laughed pretty hard when I read this story. I mean the imagery is just hysterical! ...poor dumb OP couldn't just blow...

I may be a bit late, but everyone is wrong and right. Horse face may not be the best grammatical typer, but everyone makes mistakes. I will probably make a mistake in here too. This isn't twitter, stop using hash tags. My point made.

I would be more concerned about how he is going to deal with a burnt and swollen eyelid, if I were to choose something to be concerned about. Eyelashes grow back (mostly). But a burnt eyelid... That's got to be painful. Especially since its something that constantly moves involuntarily. I guess he'll just wear a patch, but I hope there is no permanent damage or scarring for his sake.

I agree with 5- marshmallows are epic when burnt. I like to catch mine on fire, wait a few seconds and then blow it out... Cause then you can peel off the burnt shell and nom it, wait till the middle cools and nom that gooey goodness.

Burn them, take off the gooey burnt bits, eat them, then put the really gooey part back in the fire to really get that well done....(or golden, but just burning it is so much easier. And if the burnt bits aren't what you like...then you've got a really gooey marshmallow after taking off the husk.)

People use the term "Accident" to reduce the blame on themselves, it was still OP's fault because they didn't use common sense, it may have been a freak incident but OP is an idiot. 'The marshmellow caught fire, so I shook it at my face' Clearly some people are alot more stupid than I previously thought.
